How Do the Teams Benefit from the New Rules?

The new rules in place since 1 July 2016 allow for new tactical opportunities for both coaches and players. A particular focus lies on:

7-against-6 play after substituting the goalkeeper

Attacking and defence behaviour after the forewarning signal for passive play has been shown (only 6 passes left)
